Monthly Beauty Samples From Glymm.com
Update: This company seems to have unexpectedly went out of business in April 2013. Please check out some of my other posts for alternative beauty box subscriptions.
Glymm is a popular international website known for their luxury beauty products and expert advice. The site is also behind a popular bargain beauty box subscription.
This monthly beauty box actually comes in a reusable cosmetic bag, similar to Ipsy’s Glam Bag. Shipments include 4 to 5 deluxe, multi-use samples of products curated to match your style profile. In addition to samples, subscribers also have access to exclusive promotions and discounts. A rewards system allows you to earn points for completing product surveys and referring friends. Points can then be redeemed for full size products on the site.
The Glymm box is $15 per month (free shipping). You can receive up to a 20% for purchasing an extended subscription. You will also receive a $20 Glymm gift card with 6-month purchase or a $50 gift card with annual subscription.
While there is no waitlist, shipments run about two months behind. If you placed an order in January, you would receive your first Glymm bag in March. Shipments go out around the 10th.
A Glymm Man subscription is also available. That option is $25 per quarter. You can expect 7 to 8 deluxe samples in each shipment.
What Do Glymm Reviews Say?
I was personally getting pretty excited as I looked back over several months’ boxes and saw brands I love such as Cargo, Yves Saint Laurent, Cake, O.P.I. and more. Apparently, many Glymm subscribers do not feel the same. I read many complaints about a decrease in sample size and value. An even bigger bummer is that Glymm bag is not available in the U.S. at this time. It only ships in Canada. Such is life. I’m on the list to be notified when and if it comes to the U.S. At that time I will be able to find out for myself.
Have you tried Glymm bag? Were you happy with the featured products?
